13 | mdadm is a tool for creating, managing and monitoring | |
14 | device arrays using the "md" driver in Linux, also | |
15 | known as Software RAID arrays. | |
16 | ||
17 | Release 1.2.0 is a bug-fix release over 1.1.0. | |
18 | ||
19 | - Fix bug where --daemonise required an argument. | |
20 | - In --assemble --verbose, print appropriate message if device is | |
21 | not in devices= list | |
22 | - Updated mdadm.conf.5 to reflect fact that device= takes wildcards | |
23 | - Typos: componenet -> component | |
24 | - Reduce size of "--help" message put excess into "--help-options" | |
25 | - Fix bug introduced when MD_SB_DISKS dependancy removed, and which | |
26 | caused spares not be assembled properly. | |
27 | - Print appropriate message if --monitor --scan decides not to | |
28 | monitor anything. | |
